Me Embrujaste Composer(s): Quintero; León; Quiroga Performer(s): Raphael
No sé por dónde me vino Este querer sin sentir Ni sé por qué desatino Todo cambió para mí ¿Por qué hasta el alma se me iluminó Con luces de aurora al anochecer? ¿Por qué hasta el pulso se me desbocó Y toda mi sangre se puso de pie? Me miraste, me miraste Y toda mi noche, oscura de penas Ardió de luceros Me embrujaste, me embrujaste Y un río de coplas cantó por mis venas Tu amor verdadero ¿Si estaré, mi Dios, soñando Y tendré que despertar? Lo que a mí me está pasando No es mentira, ni verdad ¿Qué me diste?, ¿Qué me diste Que así me has cambiao, de nieve En hoguera de roja pasión? No te alejes de mi vera Que sin ti no hay pa' mi remisión ¿No estás viendo que al llamarte como loco Desde el alma hasta la boca Se me sube el corazón? No sé si hay otro que quiera Con la pasión que yo a ti Vivir de esta manera Más que vivir es morir ¿Por qué despierto temblando azorao Y miro a la calle desierta y sin luz? ¿Por qué yo tengo la corazona De que vas a darme sentencia de cruz?
On Ne Retient Pas Le Temps Composer(s): Michel Jourdan; Jean-Jacques Kravetz; Paul Kravetz Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu
Chaque instant qui nous est donné est vite envolé Il nous faut dire à des jours merveilleux: "Adieu" Pas une seule des secondes écroulées ne va ressusciter On voudrait pouvoir quelquefois changer tout ça seulement voilà
On ne retient pas le temps il court, il court à chaque instant On ne retient pas le temps il vole vole aux quatre vents impossible autrement...
Notre enfance n'est qu'un feu de paille une poussière d'étoiles Nos plus beaux rêves s'envolent un à un si loin...
L'arbre de vie ne fleurit pas mille ans on oublie trop souvent On voudrait pouvoir quelquefois changer tout ça seulement voilà
On ne retient pas le temps il court, il court à chaque instant On ne retient pas le temps il vole vole aux quatre vents impossible autrement... On ne retient pas le temps même en dressant des murs géants!
Ouvrons nos bras bien plus grand aux meilleurs moments Ouvrons nos curs au soleil aux vois fraternelles qui nous appellent
On ne retient pas le temps il court, il court à chaque instant On ne retient pas le temps il vole vole aux quatre vents impossible autrement... On ne retient pas le temps même en dressant des murs géants! Tendons nous les mains vraiment On a perdu assez de temps!
Me Diras Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro Performer(s): Raphael
Se que has vivido tu vida lo mismo que yo Que has disfrutado y llorado con mas de un amor Pero si de tu pasado decides hablar No tendras el valor de decir la verdad
Me diras que jamas te besaron Me diras que jamas te adoraron Que pasaste la vida esperando Sin amor, me diras, sin amor
Me diras que mi amor fue el primero Que fui yo quien te dio el primer beso Mentiras al decir todo eso Y jamas la verdad me diras
Me diras que mi amor fue el primero Que fui yo quien te dio el primer beso Mentiras al decir todo eso Y jamas la verdad me diras
On N'A Plus Quinze Ans Italian Title: Non Abbiamo Più Quindici Anni Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Georges Garvarentz Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Je n'ai plus quinze ans Tu n'as plus quinze ans Après tout qu'est ce que ça peut faire? Nous avons laissé Nos jeux de passé Pour jouer à la tendre guerre En espérant gagné en retour Le bonheur sur le parcours On n'a plus quinze ans Et l'amour nous éclaire
Je n'ai plus quinze ans Tu n'as plus quinze ans Entre nous ce n'est pas un crime L'amour est en nous Plus fort et plus doux Ça n'en est que plus rarissime Appelle-moi mon coeur et j'accours Tu es le pain de mes jours On n'a plus quinze ans Et l'amour nous anime
Je n'ai plus quinze ans Tu n'as plus quinze ans Les enfants n'ont pas de problèmes Nous en avons tant Mais bravant le temps Nos deux coeurs resteront les mêmes J'ai bien pesé le contre et le pour Je suis à toi pour toujours On n'a plus quinze ans mon amour Et l'on s'aime
Me Da Pena Confesarlo Composer(s): Mario Battistella; Carlos Gardel; Alfredo LePera Performer(s): Carlos Gardel; Juanjo Domínguez; Carlos Varela
Nace el hombre en este mundo remanyao por el destino y prosigue su camino muy confiado del rigor sin pensar que la inclemencia de la vida sin amor va enredando su existencia en los tientos del dolor Pero llega a que un momento se da cuenta de su suerte y se amarga hasta la muerte sin tener ya salvación pues comprende que la vida fue tan sólo un metejón al perder la fe querida de su pobre corazón
Me da pena el confesarlo pero es triste, ¡qué canejo! el venirse tan abajo derrotado y para viejo No es de hombres lamentarse pero al ver cómo me alejo sin poderlo remediar yo lloro sin querer llorar
Si no fuera que el recuerdo de mi madre tan querida me acollara en esta vida con sentida devoción no era yo quien aguantaba esta triste situación ni el que así se contemplaba sin abrirse el corazón Pero hay cosas, compañero que ninguno las comprende uno a veces se defiende del dolor para vivir como aquél que, haciendo alarde de coraje en el sufrir no se mata de cobarde por temor de no morir
On N'A Plus Le Droit Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
J'ai revu les filles de mon patelin Je leur ai sourit mine de rien Elles ont baissé les yeux Pour me montrer leurs doigts Il est trop tard mon Dieu On n'a plus le droit
Je suis madame machin Je ne manque de rien Il est gentil tout plein Je l'aime bien
Bon ça va, je vais retrouver les copains Se sera bon flâner jusqu'au matin
Ils ont baissé les yeux Pour me montrer leurs doigts Il est trop tard mon vieux On n'a plus le droit On n'joue plus les Milord On n'a la corde au cou Tu payes un verre d'accord Mais c'est bien tout
Tiens c'est vrai ça fait longtemps déjà Je n'me rendais pas contre Excusez-moi Et j'ai baissé les yeux Pour me gratter le doigt Et de cacher de mon mieux Mon désarroi
J'ai osé les épaules Et j'ai tourné le dos Adieu Pierre adieu Paule C'était trop beau C'était trop beau
Me And You And A Dog Named Boo Composer(s): Kent LaVoie Performer(s): Lobo
I remember to this day The bright red Georgia clay And how it stuck to the tires After the summer rain Will power made that old car go A woman's mind told me that so Oh how I wish We were back on the road again
Me and you and a dog named boo Travelin' and livin' off the land Me and you and a dog named boo How I love being a free man
I can still recall The wheat fields of St. Paul And the day we all got caught Stealing from an old hen Old McDonald he made us work But then he paid us for what it was worth Another tank of gas And back on the road again
I'll never forget the day We motored stately into big L.A. The lights of the city put settlin' Down in my brain Though it's only been a month or so That old car's buggin' us to go We've gotta get away and get back on The road again
On N'A Pas Besoin De La Lune Composer(s): A. Hornez; P. Misraki Performer(s): Georges Brassens
On n'a pas besoin de la lune Quand on est vraiment amoureux Pas besoin de vent sur la lune Ni de sources ni de ciel bleu Du moment qu'on aime sa brune Ça suffit pour qu'on soit heureux Les yeux dans les yeux et le cur joyeux On oublie la terre et les cieux Quel bonheur quelle joie quelle chance m'a donné la vie La première fois que je vis celle qui est mon amie Nous avons fait connaissance son jardin fleuri Et pas sous le ciel de la Provence Mais sous un parapluie Place Vichy On n'a pas besoin de la lune Quand on est vraiment amoureux Pas besoin de vent sur la lune Ni de sources ni de ciel bleu Du moment qu'on aime sa brune Ça suffit pour qu'on soit heureux Les yeux dans les yeux et le cur joyeux On oublie la terre et les cieux On n'a pas besoin de la lune Quand on est vraiment amoureux
Me And The Ghost Upstairs Composer(s): Bernard Hanighen; Johnny Mercer Performer(s): Fred Astaire
Once upon a midnight dreary While I pondered weak and weary From a long trip on the Erie Comes a rappin' on my chamber door
It's an ectoplasmic tapping That disturbs my nightly napping Like a shroud that's gently flapping Emanating from the second floor
Buddies are we, me and the ghost upstairs Sipping our tea, me and the ghost upstairs But he's inclined to moan when left alone So I think of things that'll tickle his funny bone
Lonely old ghost upstairs
Regular folks, droppin' our worldly cares Swappin' our jokes, me and the ghost upstairs And then he slaps his shroud and laughs out loud And says "Oh boy, that'll paralyse all the crowd"
Jolly old ghost upstairs
He's quite a cook, he serves a beautiful drink He wrote a book and in invisible ink I took a look and the title 'pon the page Was 'The Groups of Wraith'
Once in a while he brings a gang of friends Does it in style, careless of what he spends And though the place is small we have a ball 'Cause you know those spooks don't require no room at all
We have some mighty fine affairs Me and the ghost upstairs We have some mighty fine affairs Me and the ghost upstairs
Me And The Elephant Composer(s): Benny Whitehead Performer(s): Charlie Landsborough and various other artists
I remember the day we had nothing to do So we went down to the city zoo Just to kill an hour or two Out in the hotsunshine
We had so much fun We were glad that we came Fed all the animals And gave each a name Didnt even mind when it started to rain We had a real good time
Now that its over and your far away I miss you more with each passin day And all my friends sympathize and say Youll for get in time Yes you will Give yourself a little time
But its already been over a year Just in case you interested You might like to hear How everyone is doing down at the city zoo with out you Well the monkey forgot you The hippo forgot you And so did the kangaroo But me and the elephant We still remember you Me and the elephant will never forget you
Well I spoke to Ann Landers and Dear Abby too, And sought their advice as to what I should do They said everything that reminds me of you Would all have to go So I burned all of your pictures Except two or three The one by my bed And the one on my TV And the one that I always carry with me everywhere I go
And today was so nice And since I was in town I thought Id take the opportunity to go down And see how everyone is down at the city zoo And whats new Well the rhino forgot you The zebra forgot you The polar bear and the tiger too But me and the elephant we still remember you Me and the elephant will never forget you
There's a place Where I can sit Just me, myself and I On my pond (on my pond) On my pond
Where the water's Fresh and clean And peaceful as a sigh On my pond (on my pond) On my pond
Look at the grass all around me It's green as the smile on my face Look at the trees they astound me Wow, what a beautiful place
There's a spot Where no one lives But quiet little fish On my pond (on my pond) On my pond
Nature lets me Come and visit Any time I wish On my pond (on my pond) On my pond
Look at us all We're enjoying A breath of sweet country air
(a boat goes by trailing fumes, Kermit coughs, a family turns up a boombox loud)
Hey! This is getting annoying Please keep it down over there! Wait a minute! Who said you Could dump your garbage here? On my pond (on my pond) On my pond
Cleaning it all up again Could take us years and years On my pond (on my pond) On my pond
Keeping it clean to begin with Yes that's the smart thing to do
(fish pop up with their faces covered in gas masks)
(Don't let them cover our fins with Any more black slimy gooooooo!)
Save a place where I can sit Just me, myself and I On my pond (on my pond) On my pond Keep the water fresh and clean And peaceful as a sigh On my pond (on my pond) On my pond (repeat as people start picking up garbage)
Isn't it a lot nicer with everything all cleaned up like this?
Me And The Devil Blues Composer(s): Robert Johnson Performer(s): Robert Johnson
Early this mornin', when you knocked upon my door Early this mornin', ooh, when you knocked upon my door And I said, "Hello, Satan, I believe it's time to go"
Me and the Devil, was walkin' side by side Me and the Devil, ooh, was walkin' side by side I'm goin' to beat my woman, until I get satisfied
She say you don't see why, that I will dog her 'round (Now, baby, you know you ain't doin' me right, now) She say you don't see why, ooh, that I will dog her 'round It must-a be that old evil spirit, so deep down in the ground
You may bury my body, down by the highway side (Baby, I don't care where you bury my body when I'm dead and gone) You may bury my body, ooh, down by the highway side So my old evil spirit, can get a Greyhound bus and ride
Remember back when we were young And all the crazy things that we've done Me and the boys out skipping school Back on the hill acting a fool Yes, it's so easy to remember when Everything was so simple then We never worry about the money that we spend When you ain't got no money You don't care where it went
In the summer days when there were no courses Up at the creek just riding the horses Acting out westerns that we had seen Down at the theater on the movie screen One year later felt 5 years older With the girls we were getting bolder Nighttime down at the railroad yard Awkward moves, God it was hard But it sure was fun
Feel the wind running through our hair as we ride Running so fast that not even time can hold us Young and free we had nothing to hide Doing all those things that nobody just could not hold us Me and the boys Me and the boys Me and the boys
Cruising in a 57 Dodge The boys all checking out the noisy rod Backyard mechanics each and every one It was greasy work but God it was fun We got her rolling down the 104 She's working better than she did before Half a tank and we're on our way Heading for a week-end holiday
Feel the wind running through our hair as we ride Running so fast that not even time can hold us Young and free we had nothing to hide Doing all those things that nobody just could not hold us Me and the boys Me and the boys Me and the boys
Me and the boys, nobody told us Me and the boys, nobody told us When we were young When we were young Me and the boys Me and the boys
On My Mind Composer(s): Tom James; Jerry Organ Performer(s): Flatt & Scruggs; and various other artists
I can't sleep and I can't eat all I do is sit and cry And listen for your footsteps at my door I keep asking myself why that you ever said goodbye And I guess I've cried a million tears or more
On my mind on my mind You're always in my heart and on my mind Once I thought my love would die darling here's what I find You're always in my heart and on my mind
Seems I miss you most of all when the twilight shadows fall What a fool I was to ever let you go If longing for you now could only bring you back somehow You'd be here in these lovin' arms I know
Well I'm down in the alley of Sally and I'm feeling my way And it's four in the morning, I don't have a lot I can say I know I'm looking for some satisfaction But there ain't much news Got some walking from a back reaction I'm hanging down and loose
Me and the boys have been drinking Feeling like this is the wrong time for thinking All I can say is I'm doing fine with just me and my wine
Now my brain and my body are runnin' on different rails And I died and just say hi what if all else fails Oh I woke up in a subway station Lying half dead on the floor I don't remember anything What happened the night before
Oh me and the boys have been drinking Feeling like this is the wrong time for thinking All I can say is I'm doing fine with just me and my wine
Now listen My hair's a real mess, I feel and look like a joke And there's a hole in my jeans, I just ran right out of smokes You know I'd like to get to know you But I ain't got the time I'm finding it harder and harder To make this damn thing rhyme
Just me and my wine Well just me and my wine You know that I'm doing fine Well just me and my wine Thank you
Me & My Uncle Composer(s): John Phillips Performer(s): Grateful Dead and various other artists
Me and my uncle went riding down South Colorado, West Texas bound We stopped over in Santa Fe That being the point just about half way And you know it was the hottest part of the day
I took the horses up to the stall Went to the bar-room, ordered drinks for all Three days in the saddle, you know my body hurt It being summer, I took off my shirt And I tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt
West Texas cowboys, they's all around With liquor and money, they're loaded down So soon after pay day, you know it seemed a shame You know my uncle, he starts a friendly game Hi-lo jacks and the winner take the hand
My uncle starts winning, cowboys got sore One of them called him, and then two more Accused him of cheating, well no it couldn't be I know my uncle, he's as honest as me And I'm as honest as a Denver man can be
One of them cowboys, he starts to draw Well I shot him down, Lord, he never saw Shot me another, hot damn he won't grow old In the confusion my uncle grabbed the gold And we high-tailed it down to Mexico
Now I love those cowboys, I love their gold I love my uncle, God rest his soul Taught me good, Lord, taught me all I know Taught me so well, I grabbed that gold And I left his dead ass there by the side of the road
On Marche Composer(s): Christophe Bardy; Gilbert Bécaud Performer(s): Gilbert Bécaud
Il faut marcher, marcher Marcher tout l'temps, il faut Marcher devant, il faut Marcher gagnant
Tu n'marches pas, t'es foutu Les autres te marchent dessus Il faut marcher mordant Ou t'es perdant
On marche On marche
Sur le grand quai des p'tits départs On pardonne aucun retard Le monde des fous est en partance
Avance!
Dans la cadence de l'infernal Le moindre arrêt devient fatal Y a pas toujours de second'chance Avance! Tes amis te délaissent Et tes amours te blessent De vrai en faux De laid en beau
T'avances... t'avances
Il faut marcher, marcher Marcher tout l'temps, il faut Marcher devant, il faut Marcher gagnant
Tu n' marches pas, t'es foutu Les autres te marchent dessus Ils t'attendent au tournant La haine au vent!
Dans ce métro, boulot, salauds Les jolies blondes jouent les machas Tout l'monde se pousse au fer de lance
Me And My Shadow Composer(s): Al Jolson; Dave Dreyer; Billy Rose Performer(s): The Mills Brothers and various other artists
Shades of night are falling and I'm lonely Standing on the corner feeling blue Sweethearts out for fun Pass me by one by one Guess I'll wind up like I always do With only....
Me and my shadow Strolling down the avenue Oh, me and my shadow Not a soul to tell our troubles to And when it's twelve o'clock we climb the stairs We never knock 'cause nobody's there Just me and my shadow All alone and feeling blue
When the sun sets on the far horizon And the parlour lamps begin to glow Jim and Jack and John Put their slippers on. They're all set but we're still on the go So lonely....
Me and my shadow Strolling down the avenue Oh, me and my shadow Not a soul to tell our troubles to And when it's twelve o'clock we climb the stairs We never knock 'cause nobody's there Just me and my shadow All alone and feeling blue
